MySQL Check For Fragmentation
I was working with a mail archive MySQL database today and was twiddling my thumbs waiting for simple queries to complete. The database has about 12 million rows and is on a 2x2GHz 2GB Linux Server x64. I wanted to try to optimize the database and found this little gem from Lee at SoftLayer blog post.
SELECT TABLE_SCHEMA, TABLE_NAME, CONCAT(ROUND(data_length / ( 1024 * 1024 ), 2), 'MB') DATA, CONCAT(ROUND(data_free / ( 1024 * 1024 ), 2), 'MB') FREE from information_schema.TABLES where TABLE_SCHEMA NOT IN ('information_schema','mysql') and Data_free > 0
After you run the SQL on your database you can use optimize table table_name
to optimize it.
My performance increased enough to be noticeable. =)
